When we talk about sustainable development goals, one of the key issues is climate change. This is a real and urgent issue that everyone should be concerned about and take action to reduce their carbon footprint. We all need to get to work, school, shopping, etc. every day, and all of these activities require the use of transportation. However, over-reliance on cars and other highly polluting means of transportation can increase greenhouse gas emissions and have more negative impacts on climate change.
